This was for minimum wage in 2004 at 5.15/hr and 6.15/hr if we were teaching lessons.

Had to jump in and put a kid back on a wall during a lesson, closest I had to doing an actual save. Also had to call 911 once, but it was for someone out of the pool. This was over a three year period, but it was a pretty small pool.

But doing lessons there were countless times where you’re righting kids floundering or helping people back to the wall, but you’re already in the water and it was very hands on. Or you’re a second guard and sitting on the wall observing the lesson/keeping an eye on the rest of the pool. The lowest level of swimmers especially, you’re probably having to make a few assists a class.

Surprisingly never had to do anything at a birthday party, but they were the worst simply because you’d just get a lot of wildcards you don’t know and there’d be a lot to watch. The vast majority of our time was spent watching over regulars so it was pretty relaxed with regards to having to feel out the swimming ability new faces all the time.

It’s not even barbed

Guys I’m running out of novel ways to prepare can of worms for dinner, any suggestions?

It’s kinda odd, because in a lot of ways it’s still the most serious job I’ve ever had.

Also the least paying job I ever had. But when it was slow I was basically getting paid to do homework or do laps, and you were so bored you’d actually do it. $60 paychecks felt like such a luxury for something that fit nicely between school and sports.

Don’t want to store on the PS5, just want to stream what’s on my server already.

No Jellyfin on PS5 and I’m like what is even the point

Just wait, they acquired a bunch of streamers who are serious about RP to make it even better.

Some of the people streaming as cops all day are goofy, but it’s so in depth that there’s some inevitably taking it super serious. It’s really kinda unsettling.

Oh don’t do that, you’ll trigger its prey drive.

Holy shit, it’s my hat’s grandhat

They were both homeless and it’s not warm out. The water at the temperature it is now will knock the breath out of you when you jump in. And one fell in.

And what might not be deep could hold a nice thick layer of fine shoe sucking mud. Not great conditions to try and save someone if you’re not in great shape yourself. Especially if you’re wearing heavy clothes.

I’d say worse. I’ve had drinks with coca and it’s much more mellow than a Monster.

Is this a strand type game?

If you grew up in a place called the Rust Belt this may not come as a surprise.

Front row at Bonnaroo to see Sigur Ros. Hung out at the front of the stage for five hours with some nice strangers and saw an incredible performance. I haven’t been to Bonnaroo in awhile but the atmosphere of the other festival goers makes the event. The openness to strangers and general kindness at what should be a miserable packed event will always stick with me. Go if you can. It’s one thing I’ll perpetually entertain going to as long as they have it each year.

After that, found out Kanye still hadn’t taken his stage. Totally had planned on missing him for Sigur Ros. Fell asleep waiting for him to take stage and walked back to camp at 4am. Crazy it’s almost 20 years ago.

While they aren’t a co-op and are just online, I do like Garage Grown Gear for backpacking stuff.

Australia sent something similar to Ukraine a few years ago, but I haven’t heard too much about them since.
